Where to find Owly in Confluence
Owly is configured from the Confluence administration section:
- Confluence admin URL:
/plugins/servlet/owly-exporter/settings - Required permissions: Confluence System Administrator
From this page you can:
- enable or disable Owly,
- configure access / authentication,
- manage licensing (Atlassian or Teams, Work custom license),
- configure optional analytics (if available in your build).
What Owly does
Owly exposes a read-only REST API over selected Confluence database tables (including application tables and ActiveObjects tables) so that admins and integrators can:
- discover what tables are available,
- page through rows,
- fetch records by ID,
- perform safe batch reads for integrations, backups, or migrations.
✅ Owly does not write to Confluence via this REST API.
All operations are read-only.
Quick REST entry points
Replace
https://your-confluence.example.comwith your Confluence base URL.
1. List available tables
GET
GET https://your-confluence.example.com/rest/restrepo/1.a7c3/d4e1/repo/tables
Returns all visible tables Owly can see.
Use this to discover AO / application tables before drilling into data.
2. Page through a table
Example for the propertyentry table:
GET
GET https://your-confluence.example.com/rest/restrepo/1.a7c3/d4e1/repo/tables/propertyentry?offset=0&limit=100
Parameters:
offset– starting row index (0-based)limit– page size (e.g. 100, 500, 1000)
3. Lookup by ID
GET
GET https://your-confluence.example.com/rest/restrepo/1.a7c3/d4e1/repo/tables/propertyentry/1
Fetch a single row by numeric ID.
4. Batch lookup by IDs
Fetch multiple entities by ID in a single request.
POST
POST https://your-confluence.example.com/rest/restrepo/1.a7c3/d4e1/repo/tables/propertyentry/batch
Content-Type: application/json
{
"ids": [1, 2, 3]
}
Use this from curl, Postman, or scripts to iterate over batches instead of calling one ID at a time.
Licensing & Teams, Work
Owly supports multiple licensing paths:
- Atlassian Marketplace license (standard DC licensing)
- Teams, Work license (custom licensing) – for:
- extended or overlapping support windows,
- custom contracts and SLAs,
- bundled services (consulting, migrations, integrations).
When a valid Teams, Work license is present, it can take precedence over the Atlassian license, depending on your configuration.
For commercial questions or custom licensing options, please contact us via:

Confluence Data Center lifecycle & long-term support
Atlassian has announced end-of-life dates for Confluence Data Center versions.
Owly, together with Teams, Work, aims to:
- keep your Confluence data accessible and explorable even after Atlassian support ends for specific DC versions,
- provide extended support contracts via Teams, Work licensing,
- support additional Confluence versions on request (older, LTS, or future).
If you need support for:
- older DC versions, or
- future unreleased versions / long-term plans
please contact us via the support portal above and we will confirm support timelines or offer custom builds.
